48 Hour Warning -- Check your pledges!

Hi, Rose here. ^_^
Please, PLEASE, take a moment between now and the end of this Kickstarter in about 48 hours and review your pledge. I know it sounds unnecessary because you're on top of it and/or it's annoying to get multiple warning messages, but every single one of these cases below has happened to backers during one of our other KSs- even after we did multiple warnings.
The simple fact is that we at Onyx Path have so little control over fixing any slip in your pledging once the KS is over, even though we really want to make every aspect of your Kickstarter experience with us fun, that it would be a real shame if you didn't get the rewards you expect.
1) Did you pledge to the Reward Tier that offers you the rewards you want? Go through the description and make sure the rewards are mentioned there. They are not cumulative with the Reward Tiers before them.
2) Does the Reward Tier you pledged to get the Stretch Goals you want? All of our Stretch Goals let you know which backers are to receive them in their descriptions (and if they are part of a project that is itself a Stretch Goal reward, then that project will note which backers receive it).
3) Did you manually add money to the base amount of your Reward Tier pledge for the Add-ons you want? We'll send out the Survey after this KS is over that will contain spots to let us know what Add-ons you want, but you have to have had added the money yourself, manually, to the pledge before the KS is over. We can't add Screens or what have you after the KS closes.
4) Did you make sure that your payment method is valid? Is your credit card maxed out? Kickstarter will mark your pledge non-collectible and you won't get your Rewards. Did you borrow the card and they decided to block the charge because you had a fight? There's a window to resolve payment issues with KS, but there's no guarantee that resolution will be what you want. Better to make sure your payment method will work now.
That covers the typical trouble spots and we'll be answering your questions in the comments or more directly via that "contact me" link next to Rich's picture for the rest of the KS.

Hi, folks. Rose here. ^_^ Matthew sent over another preview. He really wants you to see this one...

As we approach the Kickstarter's conclusion, The Fall of the House wins the chapter voting! (I may have nudged it).
This is a chapter I won't tease other than to suggest you give it a read. It's possible the contents may prove controversial! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the Kickstarter comments.

Hi, folks, Rose here. ^_^
For our $83,000 stretch goal, you picked our next new chapter, featuring good old Christof! This chapter will be added to the main book.
Up next, at $88,000, cast your vote to decide between these two new chapters:
-
The Drowning of Rasputin – Caine. Saulot. Baba Yaga. Rasputin. Certain vampires generate their own myths and legends, and for a time the “Kindred” Rasputin was a suspected root of easily a hundred plots across Europe. And then one night he promptly disappeared along with his cult and any evidence of his existence. Beckett and Vykos seek the truth behind the legend, discovering his trail leads to South America and the Drowned Legacies spoken of by Baron Samedi.
-
A Brief History of Beckett – Amidst the chaos of the Jyhad, Beckett resolves to solve the one mystery he’s avoided facing: that of his own siring, and the circumstances. After all, if so many others are pawns of their antecedents, how else can he rule on his own objectivity?
We're now into the final five days of the Kickstarter, when news tends to come thick and fast! I'll be back soon with another new preview. :)
New preview: Dreams & Nightmares, featuring Sascha Vykos!

Hi, Rose here. ^_^ I've got a new preview from Matthew.

Hello again everyone, it's Matthew! It seems our Kickstarter has found its second wind, as we approach another set of stretch goal chapters. Let's aim to get them all into the book by this Kickstarter's conclusion, and aim for even more if possible!
The voting in the Kickstarter comments has resoundingly demanded a preview of Dreams & Nightmares. I suspect this chapter was selected due to talk of Vykos making an appearance. An immensely popular character, we felt Vykos was best used sparingly. They are wondrous, they are grotesque, they are genius, they are monstrous. Vykos is many things, and contains more than one being. The Dark Ages Clan Novels reveal how the hibernating spirit of the infamous Dracon is housed within Vykos' physical form, irrevocably warping the young Tzimisce's mind. How much of what Vykos perpetrated during the foundation of the Sabbat and later, was as a result of the Dracon's essence being inside him? How different would the life have been for Myca, and later Sascha Vykos?
This is something we explore in Dreams & Nightmares. I hope you enjoy the chapter. As ever, add your comments to the Kickstarter regarding this chapter, and the one you want to see next!
